Bringing your new ThunderX based system onto your network

Presuming this system was configured by our systems integrator; this system should perform DHCP Request on both the BMC and the on system NIC.

I have access to the DHCP server display of the IP issued and SSH into that system. The log in information is here: Default Login

If you do not have access to the DHCP server or some other method of determining the IP; then the alternative is to use either the RS232 ("Console" RJ45 on back of system), or use the BMC WebUI to access the KVM console. BMC authentication is UID/PWD: admin/password.

If you choose the BMC WebUI console on a ThunderX2 system; you will need to disable popup blocking as ThunderX2 systems use HTML5 and a pop up by default.

Once at the console; use the authentication information from that website. Then; you can see if it is on the network and get its IP using the 'ifconfig' command.

If it does not have an IP; then you can use the dhclient of other standard Linux commands to assign or request an IP from there.
